Dear Liza,

I saw on Facebook that you were in hospital but had no idea that your situation had changed so dramatically. You are such a lovely, caring person. When I first got OC I was told I was pretty much hit by a sniper's bullet - that there was no rhyme or reason for it (apart perhaps for genetics). The more I see people like yourself suffer horrendously with this disease the more random it appears.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and I hope that the chemotherapy is able to work some magic so that you can proceed with the radiation.

I am still reeling at this news.

Love to you and your family.

Sue G
